Heroes of the Pandemic: Nominate your hero

Nurses on the front lines in hospitals; aides caring for isolated seniors; the mask makers; the food pantry workers and school meal packers; the police and first responders putting their lives on the line in emergency response.

These are the tireless workers — the unsung heroes — who are guiding us through this new territory of a pandemic and beyond.

Every community has them, from the kindly health care worker who finds a way to cheer nursing home residents with hallway singalongs to the restaurant owner, struggling to keep his business afloat but still donating meals to hospital workers.

As we look back to a life defined by social distance and change — and as we look ahead to progress both against this coronavirus and toward economic recovery — we invite you, our readers, to help us celebrate local heroes.
